You cannot schedule death.

All creative people have to have vulnerability because those nuances are what move people. So I'm deeply insecure - but I'm good at hiding it.

I don't feel I fit in with morning television because I'm like a vampire and I like to stay up late.

I feel quite fearless protecting the people I love.

I am inspired by show girls and Vegas. I was a cabaret performer, so that's where all that influence comes from.

I go running three times a week - outside in the park, come rain or shine, and I hate every moment of it. I hate everything about it. But I know it's important for health reasons and the reason why I run, in particular, is because my stage work is like cardiovascular work so I don't want to lose my breath on stage.

I'd say that, first and foremost, I'm a performer; I started performing when I was four years old, and being on stage from a young age set me up.
